The island looks very nice and seems pretty sturdy. It took me about 40 minutes to build it by myself, and would have been even quicker had I had someone to help. The only issues I had were that the wheels were confusing to put on (one set of wheels only rides forward so you can't push it all around) and I had to get out pliers to assemble one of the baskets because the holes did not line up. Overall, I would definitely recommend.
